The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

At its core, pollution prevention is source reduction, which is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source prior to recycling, treatment or disposal. Food waste generates about 270 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions each year, roughly equivalent to the annual emissions from 58 million passenger vehicles.
In the MI Healthy Climate Plan, cutting food waste in half by 2030, is one of the key recommendations for Michigan to achieving carbon neutrality. Food waste is defined as any food that is grown and produced for human consumption but ultimately is not eaten. Consumer-facing businesses and homes represent over 80% of all food waste generated.
The Michigan Food Waste Roadmap is a plan to reduce food loss and waste in Michigan, that will identify strategies to guide policy makers on potential incentives, funding mechanisms, technical assistance, outreach, policy changes, and other programs that could be developed to reduce food waste among Michigan businesses and institutions.
